‘Embarrassed’ Davina McCall supported by fans as she shares candid post: ‘Sometimes s**t happens’

Davina McCall has shocked fans after revealing she has been silently suffering with an injury that’s put her ‘out of action’.

Fans rallied around the 51-year-old after she admitted she was too ‘embarrassed’ to discuss her painful injury, which has forced her to reassess her strict exercise regime.

Admitting she didn’t feel like she could be honest because she’s known as the “exercise lady”, Davina shared a very candid post on Instagram to explain why she hadn’t been sharing so much of her training.

“I’ve been a bit quiet on the exercise front because I’ve been out of action… I have this thing where because I’m exercise lady I feel I can’t be injured… but sometimes s**t happens,” she said.

“I had a niggle in my hip… quite a long time ago now.. had an x Ray no arthritis, thank goodness, not a back issue … so I paired down my training , but every time it got a bit better and I upped my training it got bad again.

“I started to worry a bit. But didn’t talk to anyone about it. Think I was embarrassed.. about being injured. Felt like I couldnt share it., like I have to be bulletproof. Well I’m not.”

Last week Davina finally went to a specialist who told her she’s torn an iliofemoral band, which she described as a relief.

She continued, “To actually know what it is and that I can actually do something about it. Got some treatment… still a bit sore but he has said he is going to rebuild me and I can get back to where I was .”

Hi. I’ve been a bit quiet on the exercise front because I’ve been out of action… I have this thing where because I’m exercise lady I feel I can’t be injured… but sometimes shit happens. I had a niggle in my hip… quite a long time ago now.. had an x Ray no arthritis, thank goodness, not a back issue … so I paired down my training , but every time it got a bit better and I upped my training it got bad again. I started to worry a bit. But didn’t talk to anyone about it. Think I was embarrassed.. about being injured. Felt like I couldnt share it., like I have to be bulletproof. Well I’m not. So finally last week I went to a specialist. And he said I’d torn a iliofemoral band … THE RELIEF! To actually know what it is and that I can actually do something about it. Got some treatment… still a bit sore but he has said he is going to rebuild me and I can get back to where I was. i feel like I should document my journey because I feel like I am starting over. So let’s get fit together! I won’t be able to do certain things . But I can work around that … I’ve been finding it hard to find the motivation to get back on it. Plenty of advice for others but suddenly struggling to hear it myself. so « by this time next year » ( or hopefully a bit sooner than that ) I’ll be back to my bouncy self . Night night
